Same here. With each Assassin's Creed I am one year late. Just in the last 2 months I have bought a ton of older games like Two Worlds II, Borderlands, Batman Arkham Asylum, Enslaved, Bioshock 2, La Noire, Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2 and many more.
My reason too is that I have a huge backlog. Plus games drop so much in price within the first year of release, so itss very tempting to wait a bit and pick them for cheap.
With my most anticipated games I do not wait though. Like Dragon's Dogma, I had to have that game early.
